Learning activities and methodology
Students will acquire the knowledge and skills through lectures, and the resolution of exercises provided by the lecturers and their discussion in class. Skills and attitudes will be enhanced by the individual activities performed by the students and the correspondign debates in class. The lectures moreover will also try to open up the discussion to the students via the collective analysis of tables, graphs or texts and the use of questions and multiple choice tests on the main concepts discussed in the lecture. The course will keep the following schedule: Students will have access at the beginning of the course to the academic reading list assigned to each topic; all the information sources are open material. There will be at least one tutorial in the last weeks of the course in which the student will have the chance to clarify doubts about the main concepts and models used in the lectures, as well as doubts about assessment and the schedule of the course. Each lecturer will inform his/her students of his/her tutorial time frames. Tutorials will work under previous appointment, so that resources are proper and fully used. As this is not an on-line course, lectures will only communicate with students via email for tutorial´s appointments. Slides are not used in the "magistral" lessons.
